High school football: Panthers thumped out of 4A playoffs in 48-8 rout by Stallions

BETHEL — Two play-action passes against North Pitt's defense that went for touchdowns — both on busted coverages — started the downfall for the Panthers' football team and ended its season Friday. North Pitt never recovered as Southwest Onslow scored 24 second-quarter points en route to a 48-8 victory in a first-round matchup in the NCHSAA Class 4A playoffs at E.R. McNair Field. Southwest Onslow (5-6), the No. 19 seed in the East 4A bracket, advanced to the second round, where it is slated to face off against No. 3 Clinton on Nov. 13 in Sampson County. North Pitt got off to a 1-4 start in the regular season but won four of its last five games in the regular season, the lone loss in that stretch coming by a point to SouthWest Edgecombe in Pinetops. It didn’t see its momentum coming to a screeching halt in a home playoff game. “Just the way we came together in that last five-game run was very special,” North Pitt assistant coach Avery Respass said. “We have a great senior class: Xaden Maldonado, Bralan Wilson, Jayden Patterson, Chris Moore, Wisdom Mason, a lot of these guys come in and work their tails off.”

High school football: Three locals advance in playoffs, two ousted

D.H. Conley’s football team bounced back in a big way Thursday. The Vikings scored the first 29 points in a sharp first half en route to a 63-38 victory over East Wake on Thursday in a first-round matchup in the NCHSAA Class 7A playoffs at Hollywood Crossroads. Conley was one of three local winners on a night when five games were moved up a night due to Friday’s wet forecast. D.H. Conley (7-4), the No. 9 seed in the East 7A bracket, advanced to the second round to face No. 8 seed Cape Fear. That matchup is scheduled for Nov. 13 in Vander, just east of Fayetteville. A victory in Thursday’s game was just what the Vikings needed. After starting 6-1, D.H. Conley finished the regular season with losses to New Bern, Jacksonville and J.H. Rose — all of which not only qualified for the postseason but were also seeded high enough to each earn byes in the 6A and 7A brackets. “I thought it was great to get back out here on the winning side,” D.H. Conley coach Nate Conner said. The Vikings’ leading tackler, Ben Herdman, who was a key to the big first half with two blocked

High school NIL grows some in N.C.; local impact remains minimal

Two years ago, some feared that by now, the best player on every high school sports team in America would be getting paid. It was then that a Wake County judge granted an injunction that struck down North Carolina’s ban on high school athletes being able to be paid for their name, image and likeness. Much was made at the time of the importance of establishing a means for high school athletes nationwide to have access to the same deals college kids were getting. North Carolina followed suit with other states, establishing an NIL platform for high school athletes similar to the NCAA’s wide-sweeping changes that allowed outside entities to pay the players who were responsible for generating much of the popularity, exposure and revenue enjoyed by their schools. Since the door was kicked open, high school NIL deals in North Carolina have grown somewhat, but their average payout isn’t much and their reach hasn’t been far. Pitt County this year has one athlete on an NIL deal, a first for the county. But the question remains, is the high school NIL era ever really going to catch on? “I would say as far as the big picture goes, what
